CVE-2010-2248

fs/cifs/cifssmb.c in the CIFS implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34-rc4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via an SMB response packet with an invalid CountHigh value, as demonstrated by a response from an OS/2 server, related to the CIFSSMBWrite and CIFSSMBWrite2 functions.

Statement

This issue did not affect the version of Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 as it did not have support for CIFS. Future updates in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5, and Red Hat Enterprise MRG may address this flaw.
